    Tankie mods on world are criticized for being too tankie in moderation.

    Admins try to address this by forcing mods to argue instead of immediately ban if something is posted against their beliefs.

    A non-tankie mod thinks it is bullshit that they have to engage in every online argument in good faith and takes their subs (I know this isn’t the official term but it communicates the idea) dark in protest.

          The term “podcast” was coined by Ben Hammersley, a BBC journalist and The Guardian columnist, in February 2004. The word is a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast”. Hammersley first used the term in an article for The Guardian.

        To be honest for people who didn’t use redet a lot, ‘subs’ is very confusing because it doesn’t relate to anything in the Threadyverse.

            These days? Definitely made sense to me even back when I redditted. I am submissive to catsbeingjerks, hmmm, and Noita.

      Not that it matters, the whole .world instance is a toxic disinformation hub that should have been defederated long ago by every sane instance, but from what I’ve read it wasn’t tankies, in this case, it was vegan fundamentalists going on a ban spree (it’s far from the first time their .world community causes drama).

          I don’t have a .world account. I’m commenting on lemmynsfw, which hasn’t defederated .world yet, so I got this question on my feed and my replies are getting sent back to .world through federation.

            Ya bud, I understand federation. I’m just saying, you’ve commented about how much you hate .world in this thread six times, which is a lot of times, and 99% of your interactions are on .world. It’s incredibly easy to block an instance and never see it again.
